There is definitely no dominant team in the Mountain West this season.

Boise State is a surprise at the top of the standings with just a few weeks to go in the season.

New Mexico is not far behind them. Only one win separates the two but there are some games and teams in between.

Boise State Broncos

Not that much was expected from Boise State this year, certainly not a regular season Mountain West title.

Chandler Hutchison has been a big surprise averaging 17ppg after less than 7ppg a year ago. He makes a few outside shots but mostly his game is inside the arc.

Paris Austin has tripled his production from a year ago, all the way up to 12ppg. Remarkably his formula is similar to Hutchinson, taking good two and making a lot of them.

Hutchison is officially listed at guard even thought he is 6’7″. He leads the team in rebounding as it does not have much size. Nick Duncan has some bulk to lean on guys but is not much of a producer.

Zach Haney and David Walker form a decent inside present average close to a double-double between them.

Boise State is a good team and they play good defense which puts them in nearly all of their games. They might steal the league this season.

New Mexico Lobos

The Lobos are not far off the pace and are definitely going to have a say in who wins the Mountain West. They have won 6 of 8 heading into this one.

Elijah Brown might be the conference player of the year with an 18ppg scoring average while leading the team in rebounds and assists. He kind of has to be Mr. Everything lately as Tim Williams, a very productive power forward is out with injury, maybe til the conference tournament.

New Mexico is all about depth with 11 players averaging more than 10 minutes per game. Nobody other than those already mentioned averages more than 7ppg.

Sam Logwood is getting a chance to due to the injury and might be a reliable second scorer. He has length on the wing too.

4* Free CBB Betting Pick: Broncos ATS.

Boise State is a good not great team. However, I like them to get this one on the road against a more limited New Mexico team.
